Overview
Step into the colonial-era French Concession and experience life across different social classes—from traditional alleys where locals once lived to a serene French-style park that was once reserved for expats, and the grand mansions of wealthy executives. We’ll explore three distinct neighborhoods, each with its own unique character—local, modern, and artsy—all beautifully transformed from historic alleyways.
Tour highlights:
1. Create your own traditional Chinese crafts in TianZiFang.
2. Stroll along the tree-lined Wukang Road and admire its distinctive architecture.
3. Visit a historic French-style park and immerse yourself in the energy of local life.
4. Savor a drink in a boutique café.
5. Step into a traditional residential alley and uncover how dozens once lived under one roof.
6. Learn how XinTianDi transformed into one of China's most successful real estate projects.
7. Take home a lovely souvenir.

XintiandiExplore XinTianDi, once a residential alley, now one of modern China's most renowned real estate developments. In this trendy shopping district, let's uncover hidden traditional Shikumen houses, which once accommodated two-thirds of Shanghai's population at their peak. Step into another peaceful alley, tucked away from the busy streets around it. Many locals still reside here—elderly women hang laundry in the passageways, while grandfathers ride their bikes through the tight lanes, picking up their grandchildren from school. It’s a beautiful glimpse of everyday life!
-
Fuxing ParkStroll through the sunken gardens and past the grand fountain, you might feel as if you've stepped into Paris rather than Shanghai! Despite a century of wars and social changes, much of the park has been wonderfully preserved. Here, you can witness lively scenes of locals playing the saxophone, practicing Tai Chi, and performing with Chinese yo-yos.

Tian Zi FangRide a premier taxi and head to TianZiFang, a former century-old residential alley that evolved into an artistic hub in the 1990s, drawing in galleries and studios. Today, it’s a lively destination celebrated for its creative charm and artsy atmosphere. Stroll through its maze-like lanes, where we’ve uncovered a few hidden studios for unique Chinese arts and crafts. Select your favorite experience from our handpicked collection and craft a personalized keepsake to bring home.
-
Wukang RoadTake a premier taxi to explore Wukang Road, a beloved destination known for its tree-lined streets, stunning architecture, and artistic charm. Along the way, we’ll introduce you to some of the most fascinating buildings, sharing the stories behind their unique designs. And, of course, we’ll stop by the iconic Wukang Mansion—often called the "Little Flatiron"—arguably the most famous building in all of Shanghai!
